Chapter 064: After the Apocalypse

He was already hungry, and his hungry chest had to be connected to his back. But his home had already been ransacked by the Jin soldiers, and there was no food, rice or noodles, and these thieves who did not share the sky left him with nothing.

Tan Xiong went out and entered the house of Li Er, the neighbor, in the dark. Li Er's family sells tofu, and there may be some food at home.

Sure enough, when he entered the kitchen of Li Er's house, he stepped on something soft on the soles of his feet, and Tan Xiong touched it, and sure enough, it was a big lump of broken tofu. Tan Xiong didn't think much about it, grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, and the tears fell again halfway through eating.

The alley was pitch black, and it was full of the corpses of the people. Tan Xiongshen stepped through the corpses, and finally got out of the alley and came to the street.

In the streets, torches and lanterns were lit, all of which were lonely ghosts who had survived in the city or outside the city. Tan Xiong relieved his heart, and it seemed that Jin Bing had left.

An empty cart, pulled by a common man, the wheels "creaked" in the dark night, and it was extremely loud. Several officials dressed in public clothes held torches, lined up on the left and right, and seemed to be heading out of the city.

"You come here, follow us, and go outside the city to collect the remains of Governor Zhang and Zhao Tongju!"

I saw that in the middle of the night, Tan Xiong, who was wearing a cloak and walking like a wandering spirit, was walking alone on the street, and a servant next to the car stopped him.

Tan Xiongli ignored it, went around directly from the side, and continued to move forward.

"I said, why are you like this!"

The official who had just spoken said angrily, and his voice was very loud in the dark.

"Governor Zhang, Zhao Tongju and Jin Ren died in battle, let you give them to collect the body, how can you be so indifferent!"

Tan Xiong continued to move forward like a walking corpse, and the official wanted to step forward to stop him, but the companion next to him persuaded: "Lao Zhao, save it." Looking at his soulless appearance, something must have happened in his family. They are all miserable! ”

Lao Zhao gave up the block, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Xiao Er, you said that these birdmen, there is the court in their eyes, and there are the words loyalty!" Zhang Xianggong and Zhao Tong sentenced themselves to death rather than give in, but now they are unwilling to find someone to help collect their corpses, what kind of fucking world is this!"

"Don't scold, if the golden man comes back at dawn, we won't be able to escape!"

Xiao Erdao, his voice was a little quieter.

Lao Zhao shook his head and said, "Jin Ren has already gone to Zezhou!" Now in this city, there is nothing but the dead, and the golden people have come back to do something! ”

"Anyway, it's better to be careful, who knows if these animals will kill a horse pistol!"

The group cursed and left, leaving only the sporadic fires on the long street, and the blood and corpses all over the ground.

Tan Xiong stumbled all the way, came to the alley next door, stopped in front of a house, and called softly: "Sixth sister, I'm Ah Xiong, are you there?"

The sixth sister and her brother Tan Ying have been in love since childhood, and the sixth sister has never disliked him because her brother is lame, and she also takes care of Tan Xiong. Even if the sixth sister's parents and brother did not want her to marry the eldest brother, the sixth sister never changed her affection for the eldest brother.

It is precisely because the sixth sister's family has always disagreed that the marriage between the two has been delayed for seven or eight years, and it was not decided until the eve of the first day.

Seeing that the good things of the two were approaching, who knew that Jin Bing went south, and the eldest brother also became Jin Bing's sword soul.

Before the eldest brother was killed, he had entrusted him to take care of the sixth sister, and he was naturally duty-bound.

There was no sound coming from the house, Tan Xiong stepped forward to knock on the door, but it was empty, and a strong smell of blood came out of the courtyard.

Tan Xiong secretly screamed that it was not good, stepped in, and stepped on a corpse without walking a few cloths.

According to his memory, Tan Xiong came to the house, lit the lamp, looked at it carefully, became more and more frightened, and finally sat on the ground all of a sudden.

The sixth sister's family, including Chen Dayi, the eldest brother of the sixth sister who Tan Xiong didn't like to see the most, was lying quietly on the ground at the moment, his body was cold, and he was already separated forever.

Chen Dayi's two seven-year-old twin sons each had a deep knife mark on their faces, several blood holes in their chests, and their faces were extremely hideous in the dark.

Through the half-open door, he saw that the sixth sister's eyes were wide open, defenseless, and her body was full of dirt, lying on the bed like that, with several blood holes in her chest, and the blood had coagulated, which was shocking.

Tan Xiong felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the air around him was heavy and depressed. He tried to stand up, but his legs were weak. He just kept lying on the ground, his hands were sticky and dirty, and he felt uncomfortable there.

I don't know how long it took, the bright light came in obliquely through the skylight on the roof, and Tan Xiong struggled to get up and staggered to clean up in the house.

Two families, more than a dozen corpses, Tan Xiong wasted all his strength to pull them to the foot of Dongshan.

Two huge graves were erected, and Tan Xiong buried his parents and eldest brother together, and buried the sixth sister's family next to him. He kowtowed heavily to the grave a few times, then turned back three times and reluctantly headed north.

Hedong, Longde Mansion, Licheng Daying, Li Sanwa lay down comfortably on the bed, clean clothes, clean body, clean bed, people have an inexplicable comfort and warmth.

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded outside, followed by the officer's shouting: "All get on the horse, let's go kill together!"

Li Sanwa, like the other recruits, squeezed to the window and looked out.

I saw that the knights were assembling in the courtyard, and then I saw a young man in iron armor walking out, holding an iron spear with the thickness of a baby's arm.

"That is General Wang Songwang, the leader of the Loyal and Righteous Army, I heard that one can fight hundreds, which is very powerful!"

"No wonder it looks so fierce! The iron spear in his hand alone is probably thirty or forty pounds!"

"I heard that he saved the little kind of Xianggong in Killing Bear Ridge, and it was really two hits!"

Li Sanwa couldn't take his eyes off and watched the Wang Daguan in everyone's mouth get on the war horse, and the look of looking forward to it freely and breezy made him a little dumbfounded.

"Brethren, are you ready?"

Wang Song sat on his horse, put on his helmet and armor, and shouted loudly.

"The order of the big official is it!"

Zhang Heng was fierce and vicious, and shouted loudly beside him.

Wang Song nodded, a dozen war horses, took the lead in running forward, a group of tiger and wolf knights followed closely behind, bursts of horses' hooves sounded, a burst of smoke rose, and in a blink of an eye, he walked out of the gate of the teaching field.

It wasn't until the knights disappeared into the distance that all the recruits lay down and began to talk excitedly.

"What's the noise, I didn't toss enough last night, do you want to go out and train now?"

The instructor's roar sounded without losing any time.

The recruits shut up and lay down. In last night's night exercise, everyone was already exhausted, and the short two-hour break was naturally to be grasped.

Li Sanwa lay back on the bunk, and sighed secretly in her mouth, when will she be like these knights, galloping on horseback and smiling proudly on the battlefield?

By the Zhangshui River, Tan Xiong stopped at a shallow water, drank a few sips of water, and washed his face.

He touched the steel knife at his waist, took the burden on his shoulders, and continued to the north.

Leaving the dilapidated Lund House, he didn't know where to go. It's just that intuitively, the further north he goes, the more Fanzi he has, the easier it is for him to kill Fanzi and avenge his family.

Tan Xiong went all the way north, avoiding the post road and picking the trail. He walked day and night, and before he knew it, a month was almost over, and the sky was hot, and it was already early summer.

Along the way, he killed a few scattered Jin soldiers, but they were all Han'er from the North, and none of them were Fan soldiers. This also made him quite unwilling.

Now he is ragged and unkempt, except for a steel knife that he carries with him, and the whole person is like a beggar.

In front of Xianghuan Lutai Mountain, Tan Xiong walked for a while, and when he arrived at the side of the mountain road, he saw that there was no one around, so he rested under a big jujube tree next to the road.

Suddenly, the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves came, and Tan Xiong couldn't help but shudder, and opened his eyes suddenly.

Tan Xiong grabbed the handle of the knife, climbed down to a high slope, hid himself, and looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came.

I saw that by the Zhangshui River, under the morning sun, countless Song cavalry galloped vertically and horizontally, chasing the golden people riding all over the mountains.

In the Song army, the young knight who took the lead was very fierce, and under his iron spear, there were constantly Jurchen knights falling under the horse. The subordinates around the young knight are also a hundred battle powerhouses. These knights and horses struck spears, and the golden ghosts cried wolves, and the army was defeated.

The young knight hit the horse, the thick barrel of the gun like a small tree smashed head-on, and the Jurchen knight in front of him waved an iron rod to block, but he couldn't resist the divine power of the young knight, the iron rod flew out, and a golden foot pawn spewed blood from his mouth, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up again.

The young knight casually smashed it down and smashed it on the back of the Jurchen knight. The Jurchen knight snorted, and as the horse moved forward, he slowly slid off the horse and fell to the ground, and then countless war horses rumbled past, and the Jurchen fan had already become a meat puree.

"This is a strong man there, his divine power is so amazing, I can't imagine that my Great Song also has such a warrior!"

Tan Xiong's palms were sweaty and dumbfounded. This is the real war! The sneak attack on a few insignificant golden foot soldiers who were complacent was really nothing compared to this bloody fight.

The cavalry of the Song people were like hungry tigers pounced on sheep, like broken bamboos, and soon killed the few Jurchen knights among the Jin soldiers. The crowd then began to chase and kill the panicked Jin people.

"It's the loyal army of Hedong!"

When the knights approached, Tan Xiong could see clearly, and the words "Loyal and Righteous Army" and "Song" swaying in the wind on the banner were clearly visible.

There was a "rustling" sound in the grass behind him, Tan Xiong couldn't help but be surprised, clenched the steel knife in his hand, and turned his head to look back.

In the grass and trees behind him, many Song people in tattered clothes, unkempt, and thin faces were stretching their necks to look at the edge of Zhangshui, and some Song people wanted to see clearly, and they rushed to the high slope where Tan Xiong was.

"This is the loyal army of Hedong, it seems to be some of Wang Tiegun's subordinates."

"What like, the general who took the lead is Wang Tiegun! With a fierce general like him, what kind of thieves are you afraid of!"

"It turned out to be him!"

When the crowd was neutral, there was a sound of admiration, and someone said happily: "I heard that General Wang is recruiting troops and horses in Licheng, but I don't know if it's true or not?"

"I don't know. After a while, when the battle is over, let's go out and ask if we can do it!"

Tan Xiong perked up, raised his head and continued to look down.
